Maybe home is inter-personal connections and a sense of togetherness. That feeling of timelessness and ease when you reconnect with an old friend after many long years and realise that you can pick up the conversation as if no time has gone by at all. That feeling of being truly seen and understood by someone. What if home is not defined by an address, a space, or a geographical location? What if, instead, it is defined by the people in our lives? Maybe home is not a place, but a person. Custom vinyl flooring with hand-rendered wood grain and wall panels line the perimeters, and the life-sized works often feature quaint, cozy details like patterned rugs and billowing drapes, in addition to pop culture references through books and framed artworks.įalling at the intersection of two and three dimensions, the immersive installations are minimal in execution-based on the humble line drawn in a monochromatic palette-in an effort to define the contours of the concept while leaving the specifics open for interpretation and evolution. Now living and working in Sydney, Parmson continues to question what creates that sense of comfort and connection by envisioning living areas and bedrooms as a sort of blank canvas. She paints walls, furniture sourced from resale shops or trash bins, and domestic objects like coffee mugs and potted monsteras in white and then draws details in black. “I do still see drawing as a form of home that I create for myself-a little space where I feel like I truly belong.” “I feel like my concept of home is always evolving alongside my practice and my personal experiences,” she tells Colossal. Born in Estonia to a Siberian family and later educated in France, artist Anastasia Parmson has long considered this idea and what it means to feel at ease within a space. Our understandings of home are fundamentally personal, determined by an evolving mélange of factors like location, culture, and the people in our lives.

The music video for Bonobo’s new single “ATK,” the zoetrope flashes a series of photos at an incredibly fast pace, appearing to capture the scenes from the window of a train. Irish director and animator Kevin McGloughlin ( previously) and his brother Páraic (aka the McGloughlin Brothers) recently collaborated on a new short film that speeds through urban and rural regions of Portugal with an eye toward recurring structures and patterns.
Visit Instagram for more of his works and glimpses into his process. Prints, stickers, and other goods are available in Lewin’s shop. Rendered on canvas or wood panel, each work is rooted in the transfer of energy and how legacies are passed through generations. Hoods of fur, snake-like coils, and feathers shroud their bodies, using organic details to frame their silhouettes and convey the intrinsic connections between humanity and nature. Geometric motifs and symbols reference diasporic folklore and ritual and adorn the subjects’ faces and torsos. Working in neutral tones and colors evocative of the tropics, Lewin envisions figures within the speculative realm of Afrofuturism. I like to think of it as traveling inside to the place where my inspirations, emotions, genetic memory, and unconscious thoughts all collide.”
Meditation and dreams were very important tools in the creative process of my ancestors. “Each of my paintings is created in a process similar to dreaming. “My work tells the story of me,” he says in a statement.
